Do you all (or Yall as we say 'round here!) think they'll break out this season? Or do you think they'll carry it over? What kind of direction would a show called "prison break" go if they've already broken out? I want them to break out, but I dont want the show to end!hehehe

There's only approximately two days before Lincoln's scheduled execution... so yes, I do believe they'll break out.

Plus, there's 22 episodes in the season. There's no way they could drag this out for another 15 episodes. After they break out, they still have to 1) avoid capture, 2) solve the "mystery" of who actually killed the VP's brother, and 3) prove it to people that can do something about it.

Can you be more specific about what you think you heard? Personally, I haven't heard anything that makes me think he is part of their family - though I'm definitely open to the idea that there is more to him than meets the eye

Does anybody else think that the attorney, helping Veronica, sounded like he might be a part of Lincoln's and Michael's family. I also think that I may have heard the dialog wrong. Somebody help me!

Do you think that because he mentioned his Dad being in prison for 15 years for something he didn't do and how his Dad pretty much kept to himself? It's a possibility. Does any one know what happened to their dad? But I don't think he is part of the family though I am curious about him. I don't think he is with the VP and her group of crazies, but I do think he has his own agenda which just happens to coincide with Veronica's.

Just a quick comment on the quickly approaching execution date....it is entirely possible that the brother will get a stay of execution....the condemned almost never are executed on the first scheduled date. There are all sorts of legal manueverings that can cause a stay to be ordered. Sometimes these stays are for months or years if the legal wranglings are complicated enough, sometimes they are only for days or possibly a few weeks.

I am a Deputy Warden in a prison and I find many parts of this fascinating show to be totally unrealistic, but love it just the same. Our inmates are hooked on it too. Most inmates are not nearly as intellligent as Michael, but there are some that are. I also think the pocket holding sex slave of T-bag is going to end up hurting or killing him at some point. We have a name for what happened to him after his arrival....he was "turned out". The Warden and Captain Bellick are straight out of Shawshank all right...I know a lot of Wardens and they are total professionals. But that wouldn't be as interesting to watch, would it?

If anyone has any questions about prisons in general, just ask. I don't claim to be an expert, but you can't work in this environment for over 15 years and NOT know a good bit about them.

i think in a "real case" scenerio that would be true. but at the beginning they said that he had a speedy trial, no motions filed, everything happened very quickly because of who it was paying them off and paying for it to be done like this. there's no way the VP will allow for a stay of execution on this, unless there is some miraculous situation that happens.

but you are definitely right about legal manuevers that could possibly occur.

michael finds the older man's cat and asks him if he'll start a fire in the guards room. he says no way no how. then bellick talks to the old man about their friendship and how "bob" was only there because bellick got him the job, etc, etc. he actually showed emotion!!. and the older man said no, i can't tell because a snitch is as good as gone. so bellick leaves and then later on the old man comes back to his cell only to find his cat has been killed. this leads him to start a fire in the guard's room so the escape group can get in there.

the other plot: veronica and the DA almost die after veronica's apt is wired with explosives, but the handy man steps in and opens the room for them, thus him dying and veronica and the DA living. they escape and everyone thinks they're dead

and finally the third plot: duncan's son is home alone when the "bad guys" come and hold a gun to him basically going to kill him, but his mom and step father come home. they end up getting shot/killed, while the son runs away and is now being framed for murder.

the last thing we learn in the episode is that it was the Vice President herself that ordered the hit on her brother.

-hope that helps, it's just a quick summary and as you can tell i don't know all of their names.-

Excellent highlights---the only other essential thing is that Lincoln's son snapped a picture of the FBI guy with his gun showing with his cellphone, and the FBI bad guy doesn't realize it. So the kid has evidence that he isn't the killer if he can just get it to someone.
